In Fishtown

A little over two months ago, we checked in on Hagert Square, a large Fishtown project that will eventually include thirty new homes. When we last snapped photos of this project, located at E Hagert & Gaul Sts., one row of foundations had been poured while excavation was still ongoing for

Pretty much adjacent to I95, we spotted 'For Sale' signs at 1027 Marlborough St., in Fishtown. This building, from what we can tell, was built in the 1950s, years before the highway was constructed. Looking at a WPA Land Use Map from 1962, and looking at a current street overlay,

A reader gave us the heads up that site work had begun at 1214-20 Crease St., just down the street from a progressing seven-home development that we've already told you about a couple of times. The new project is replacing a rather large, long vacant lot that we imagine once

We snuck up to grab a slice of Charlie Mayfer from Pizza Brain the other day, and a Frankford Avenue property we've passed by dozens of times caught our eye whilst on our way. Once we finished devouring the deliciousness, we trekked back to 1431-35 Frankford Ave. to take a

In March, we updated you on the progress of 1412 Frankford Ave., a new construction home two doors down from Bicycle Stable. At the time, we found it a little curious for the home to go up with privately owned green space on either side, and set back some from the

Over the summer, we told you about a proposed seven home development on Crease Street in Fishtown, which was modified from a ten home project that was proposed last spring. We were in the neighborhood the other day and noticed that quite a bit of progress has occurred since we

We were in the area today, and spotted a hole in the ground, across the street from one of the G8-Life homes on Amber Street in East Kensington.

2074 E. York St. was purchased by 2074 E. York Lp (clever name) earlier this year for just under $45K. According to zoning
